Where should I look? Short-term, the gpart(8) man page: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gpart&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html Scroll down to Partition Types. Long-term... don't know. FWIW, I agree that the program should be self-documenting. That might be difficult with all the partition schemes.
